Timothy S for Model Number Kenmore Refrigerator 2536419240J I apologize if it has been previously asked, the freezer is blowing cold but everything in the fresh food area is not cold. I have cleaned all the dust collecting under the bottom and the motor seems to be running normal. before I start tearing the fridge apart or replacing parts, I wanted to ask for some advice on where to start troubleshooting.. Thank you.
Answer Timothy, It sounds like you may have a defrost problem with the unit. Check and see if there is any frost build up on the back wall of the freezer. If so, you will need to test the defrost heater and the defrost thermostat. They should read closed for continuity when cold. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. I will include a link at the end to assist you how to use the multi-meter if needed. If both parts are good, you will need to replace the defrost timer. Once the problem is repaired, you will need to thaw out the ice on the coils before the unit will operate properly. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
